Whirlpool Washer Repair – Navarre, OH (WTW4950XW2)

A Whirlpool washer in Navarre, OH wouldn’t agitate properly despite the customer already replacing the control board and lid switch. We discovered the new control board required a different pressure switch connection to function correctly.

The Problem

The customer reported their washer won’t agitate. They had already attempted repairs by replacing the control board and lid switch, but the washer still wasn’t entering the wash cycle correctly.

Diagnosis

The new control board has the pressure switch integrated on the board. The water level pressure hose from the pressure switch assembly needed to be connected to the sensor on the board for proper operation.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: W10404050 latch, W10480261 control board
• Work performed: Connected the water level pressure hose from the pressure switch assembly to the sensor on the board
• Result: Operation is normal and symptoms are resolved

Is It Worth Repairing?

This Whirlpool top-load washer represents solid mid-range construction that typically provides years of reliable service. Control board issues like this are usually worth repairing on machines of this age, especially when the customer has already invested in some components.

Maintenance Tips for Whirlpool Washers

• Keep the lid switch area clean and free of lint buildup to prevent connection issues
• Run a cleaning cycle monthly with Whirlpool washer cleaner to prevent residue buildup
• Check and clean the water level pressure hose annually to ensure proper fill levels
